Bring the Joy of Friendship
Jesus offered His trust, confidence and friendship to everyone, thereby breaking down, one by one, the barriers that human pride and selfishness had erected in the society of His time. Jesus was the visible sign of the love of the Father who fully accepts and welcomes each one of us. Consequently, we should love one another in the same way. This is, above all, the Father’s will for us. Therefore, we can give the Father no greater glory than by welcoming one another, in the same way that Jesus welcomed us.
